Is this book auto-conclusive?

[Rompeaire]

One of the things that surprised and greated me the most with Mistborn was that the first book tied up most of the plot. There was still a lot open for the sequels, but you COULD read it and let the series to lie down for a while.

Being this book 1000 pages long, the least I can expect is that it is somehow auto-conclusive. Is it?

[Neal]

No. It was designed as a ten book series with two five book arcs. It is not stand alone like Warbreaker or Elantris, though both of those do have sequels in the pipe.

That said, it is probably one of the best fantasy books I have ever read

It's not really auto-conclusive, no. But several story arcs are resolved, a few mysteries revealed and some questions answered, so I think one can easily enjoy it the same way you enjoyed Mistborn: The Final Empire.

It doesn't leave you disappointed that it ended but it leaves you wanting more

[Rompeaire]

Okay, thank you for your answers. I'll go for it!

I thought the next title was going to be "even longer and more formulaic."

[Kenneth]

Apparently calling a 1000+ page book "The book of endless pages" is a bad idea haha

[Nihilum]

The same person keep throwing the word "formulaic" out there. All books are formulaic...they are written in a specific order to prevent confusion and convey a story. Your use of the word is therefore, not only incorrect, but it shows your level of understanding in creative writing.

Using big words impresses nobody...especially on a website full of avid readers. Understand the meaning AND use of a word in a given situation, before you repeat the word...otherwise you're just annoying people.

Yes, and the formula seems to be:

Intriguing Characters + Unique and Innovative Magic System + Masterful Worldbuilding = Epic Bestselling Novel

Don't really see how you can knock that.
